I can only imagine how Benny must feel about this revelation, after having just dropped over $26,000 on a stack of PicoScopes. Hitesh, the ps6000 driver does not currently provide a trigger time stamping function in rapid block mode. This statement is neither accurate, nor true. The driver contains ...

Hitesh, thanks very much for nailing this down conclusively. It is much appreciated. This is a feature that will be considered in the future but is not available in the current PicoScope 6000 Series models. Wow! That literally blows my mind. A documented capability, but not actually implemented ! Ca...

Hi, Fabian. Is this really true? I have understand this in the other way, I already described. If you are right, what is the benefit of the rapid block mode then? It really doesn't matter, if I partition the memory and write it full or if I write it full as one big memory. The benefit is that if the...

Hi, Fabian. Thanks for filling in the missing pieces, and confirming that you're already using USB3, and that Streaming is too slow. The block length isn't specified up to now and so I'm very variable with this. I tried very different ones starting from 100 to 1000000, while 100 has to me the minimu...

is there an HDMI CEC decoder available from picotec? if not are there any third party decoders available for this? Hi, Steve. There is no such decoder yet, but Pico has started adding new ones recently, at a pretty good rate. Their Beta version is now up to about 16! Which is quite impressive. So i...

GetValuesTriggerTimeOffsetBulk64 - This function retrieves the 64-bit time offsets for waveforms captured in rapid block mode. Assuming these functions actually work (and they must, or PS6 would have nothing to go on), the problem is simply one of ambiguity in defining what the "offsets" returned a...

Unfortunately, the ps6000 driver does not currently provide a trigger time stamping function in rapid block mode. I am finding this very confusing, and would appreciate a bit more explanation. Page 34 of ps6000pg-en-9.pdf says, 3.9.13 ps6000GetTriggerTimeOffset64 PICO_STATUS ps6000GetTriggerTimeOff...

Your product looks great, just want to know if it will work with my little friend. I see I side-stepped this question, so I'll answer it directly. Yes, it should run just fine on your little friend. Even better than jerash experienced on his Asus running linux. There won't be any horizontal issues ...

I wrote: > I have PicoScope running right now in a tiny window, at 743x278, with nothing cut off. I just rechecked, and while that is true for controls at the top, it does cut off the Measurements, Rulers, and Notes buttons on the bottom. You need at least 978 horizontally, for all those to be inclu...

One of the advantages we have over competitors is the real estate offered by the PC screen, 1024x760 was chosen as the base resolution for this reason. I think you meant 1024x768. And while this is true, it fails to tell the whole story. I have PicoScope running right now in a tiny window, at 743x2...

Hi, rocket. ...I have an asus netbook. It is also 1024x600 and I've recently swapped in an ssd and that makes it quite zippy. With a >9 hour battery life, and small footprint, it would seem this netbook would be a perfect platform for a usb scope. I agree. Though keep in mind that a Picoscope runs f...

Hi, Fabian. I use the Picoscope 6404D for capturing data using the SDK and Labview. As my application needs a fast data aquisition I need to use the fastest timebase that's possible (200 ps). Congrats! That's a very powerful piece of kit. Super high acquisition speed (5 GSa/s) combined with super de...

Waking this back up again, since it's been 10 days with no response... You mentioned inter-segment gaps being as small as 1us, and I was wondering what that gap would be in a situation where one was using a 32M buffer, split into something close to the maximum 10k segments (so ~3200 Sa/seg), with ea...

It would be nice to have an option to disable math and serial decoding during live capture and automatically re-enable after pressing the stop button. This would save me a lot of time ! I agree! Putting the burden on the operator (to have to manually switch back and forth) kind of misses the point ...

Do you have any Maths Channels, Filtering, of Resolution Enhancement enabled as this will reduce the number of samples to 2MS. Good to know! So using a Maths channel to achieve interchannel time-correlation (for example) is not very productive. Someone could spend a lot of money to get a large memo...
